Kind of excited...my new equipment to help with squats is supposed to arrive today. Hopefully, my legs won't protest when I go to test it. I 'may' 
have more than doubled my deadlift weight yesterday because I was getting a good rush. I made it through my morning workout with just some of that good ache...so I think we're good

He was paid, it was just a bit delayed. Thank you!
I don't think I used the multi quote function correctly. Oops.

What sort of equipment did you get? Are you doing a program like "Strong Lifts?"

Hello-
I'm sitting under my light box right now. Then I am going to do my yoga.
I am hoping to get to the Art Museum with my husband today, but it looks like it snowed. It's still dark, so I can't tell how much it is. Then my husband and I are going out for Indian food after that.
I guess this is the first round of snow and another system is coming in later this weekend. Ugh.

I'm looking forward to the snow. Since we're in the working out thread, you can get a great work-out by shoveling snow, you know!

I love zoodles, but they cook down SOOOOO much. You need a ton just to have enough for more than one person!

It's sort of a rower meets squat machine. It's the one in the middle along the wall...
It's supposed to work a bit of everything by changing the seat and arm positions and playing with the tension, but also reduce knee strain you get during traditional squats and promote proper form.
Not doing any programs. Just trying to follow whatever gets me motivated at the time. I made some changes about 6.5 months ago in both diet and exercise and it's been pretty successful so far, but I keep adding things and changing stuff up to keep it fresh.

Stay safe and I hope you don't get any ice down there!Hello-

I spent most of the day cooking and making sure the laundry is caught up just in case we lose power. As of now it should be all snow up here but I'm wayyyyy to close to the ice line to take chances. Some how I managed 5 Leslie Sansone miles and down loaded some yoga to my tablet just in case. Everybody stay safe!
Be careful and seek help! Shoveling is great exercise if you're in good shape but it's quite easy to get hurt or worse if you're not!I'm looking forward to the snow. Since we're in the working out thread, you can get a great work-out by shoveling snow, you know!
but making them is a good arm workout

I hope I didn't! I'll find out tomorrow morning when I try doing my weekend biking distance (usually 18+ miles- stationary). My quads will let me know

OK- I have questions.
What's it called? Do you use it with weights or is it tension based? I am looking at it, trying to figure out how to use it! LOLI need to mix it up, too. I do mostly yoga, but some days I feel like a kettle bell workout or free weights and I do that.

You stay safe, too.
I grabbed some stuff in case our power goes out, too. We're not getting snow the last time I looked, but rain...with a rapid freeze up. It's going to be 45 for a high tomorrow with 5 for a low. That's quite a temperature spread for a single day.

Hello-
More yoga and a walk today. I need to get out today, since tomorrow looks like loads of rain.
I went to the Art Museum and it was nice and empty. LOL They had an exhibit about fashion/couture. I wasn't interested, but it was included in my membership, so I thought,"Why not?" It was a fun diversion. Different dresses, shoes, accessories were on display. They had Grace Kelly's wedding dress and accessories on display. She donated them to the Art Museum after she got married and they display them infrequently. Her dress is very fragile.
I always forget I am in Philadelphia when I am in this museum. The employees are so nice! Then you get back into your car and into traffic and you are jarred back into reality.
It was a fun day followed up with a tasty Indian buffet lunch. I went up twice for dessert. No regrets!

This is the official vid for the machine so you can see it moving...
There are also several QVC videos that may be better examples of real people testing it. I know a lot of people bought it because it was similar to the DB Method, but a third of the price.
It has three tension straps on the back. Each one is supposed to equate to about 22lbs. You can also use it without the tension, but I only did a little bit of that to get the hang of the motion in each seating position. I used to be an all out gym rat, but more into circuit than free weights. This reminds me a lot of a leg press machine with the upper body motion of a rower. The lowest seat level reminds me of frog squats, the middle more like a traditional squat, and the highest is like a mini squat that you could do in rapid succession. The counter is also accurate. Today- I could really feel it in my thighs, butt and hips...not enough to impede movement today, but enough soreness to know I got a decent workout. I can also feel it working my abs when I'm on it...especially if I concentrate and remember to keep them engaged...but no soreness there. That could change if I up the tension.
I believe this is the official name of it.. Sunny Health & Fitness Squat Assist Row-N-Ride Trainer for Squat Exercise and Glutes Workout
